POBNEWS24, Dhaka` Oct 6, 2024 : Awami League general secretary and former minister Obaidul Quader, presidium member Jahangir Kabir Nanak and former DB chief Mohammad Haroon Or Rashid will be arrested if they receive information, RAB said.
Lt. Col. Munim Ferdous, director of RAB’s legal and media wing, said this in response to a question from journalists at a press conference organized at RAB Media Center in the capital’s Karwan Bazar on Sunday (October 6).
RAB has already arrested many heavyweights. But so far they have not been able to arrest controversial people like Obaidul Quader, Jahangir Kabir Nanak and Harun Or Rashid. When asked about the progress of their arrest, he said, “We are working on them.” Arrest will be made if information is received.
When asked about RAB’s role in arresting those involved in the massacre in the anti-discrimination student movement, Lieutenant Colonel Munim Ferdous said that RAB has arrested 1,700 people so far after the anti-discrimination student movement on August 5. Among them, 39 high-level people of the previous government. Besides, 15 people have been arrested in the incident of firing on the students with weapons. Whose videos spread through social media.
RAB has arrested many high-ranking political leaders. Besides, a large quantity of arms and ammunition has been recovered. If anyone gets any information then give it to RAB and action will be taken. RAB is always on the side of common people.
More than 90 police officers are accused. When asked whether any member of RAB has been made an accused or not, Lieutenant Colonel Munim Ferdous said that no member of RAB has escaped. Even in other forces, no member of RAB went on strike.
He said, RAB members come from eight forces. About 44 percent of RAB’s 10,000 members come from the police force. But there was no problem in RAB. RAB never used lethal weapons on students. The RAB was with the student movement and was working to make the coup a success.
